victoria gill, bbc news, sharm el—sheikh.. yesterday we had another wave of missile attacks by moscow in the cities like kharkiv and 0desa in the south. russia says it is only targeting energy supplies to the military, but inevitably civilians are suffering. here in kyiv, where the temperature is minus three degrees today, it is snowing, and ukrainians are bracing themselves for the worst to come. people are making preparations for power outages, buying things like power bags, blankets to keep themselves warm. the united nations is warning that showed these attacks continue to happen and people continue to be cut off from electricity there could be as severe humanitarian crisis here in ukraine. second home owners will soon have to pay double the amount of council tax on properties in north yorkshire — as local politicians warn the rise in holiday lets is "tearing the heart out of communities".|t�*s hoped the move will encourage people to sell or rent out their second homes, to help local residents who are struggling to find h

loss and damage fund because of fears that china would not contribute. 0ur science correspondent, victoria gillaround the negotiators, and we have just seen the latest version of a draft agreement, a proposed text that these countries could sign off on at some point in these overrunning negotiations, and it'sjust a question of whether what is in that draft text could be something that every single party here could agree on. crucially, there is no mention of a phase down in fossil fuels, that was lost from the text earlier in the talk. the language on this 1.5 degree target that was set by the paris agreement, this threshold to limit the most dangerous impacts of climate change, the language on that has not been strengthened as much as major players like the eu would like to see. they have already threatened to walk away from these talks if they don't see that target being really affirmed in this agreement. it's still a case that this vexed issue of loss and damage, of funding for the most vulnerable countries that are suffering the impacts of climate change, we saw those floods in pakistan earl

help countries already suffering the worst effects of global warming. 0ur science correspondent victoria gillhe event closes down around the negotiators, there are still deep divisions here. because what richer countries want to achieve and what the poorest countries need are at odds. developed nations want to focus on reducing emissions of greenhouse gases. while the poorest and most vulnerable need funds for the damage already being caused by climate change. those two things are held against the charter in the reduction of emissions, and developing countries are very interested in the fund to support them in disaster situations, so that's what's holding up a final decision. the floods in pakistan this year showed the world just what climate change can cost. and when this ten—year—old from ghana addressed the delegates here at cop27, she shared her experience of a warming world. last month, where i live in ghana, there was a heavy rain outpost and cars went underwater. people were paddling canoes where there had been streets. thousands of flooded houses. it was very scary. for those countrie

our science correspondent victoria gill sent this update from sharm el sheikh. two weeks the end of this conference was mired in deadlock and disagreement. it has been really quite a chaotic un climate summit. but in the early hours of this morning, finally a deal, a compromise was reached. there was a really muted reaction, a quiet round of applause. i think that is partly because everybody was just so tired, these negotiators have been here so long, working late into the night. there is a distinction between the developing and the developed world when it comes to the reactions of this deal. we'll be seeing what the deal means in the coming days, but the key thing, the historic thing that came out of this was the deal for vulnerable and developing nations. this fund that will be established here at cop27 for loss and damage. that is the destruction that cannot be adapted to, be escaped that is associated with and fuelled by climate change. extreme weather like we saw in pakistan earlier this year, floods displacing millions of people that was shown to be fuelle
